Thread: What headgasket to use

So I have a stock UK bottom end and I just got my Mazwork ARP headstuds and now I need to deside on a headgasket. Looking to make 320-350hp. I hear cometic is crap. What you guys think I should go with?

ive used the cosworth and the 20v The nissan one is okay but the cosworth is much much better

stock ve from greg or go crazy for that power level and get the mazworks one
my opinion anyway

Use the OEM paper gasket for a DE or DET. Use the OEM multi-layer metal gasket (VET?) for a VE or VE+T.
For those power goals, use the stock stuff.

VET gasket or Cosworth. For you I would do the Cosworth gasket. FRSport.com has them for 150, Absolutely awesome gasket. Never had any issues with many many builds that ive used them on.

The VET gasket is also very good and a bit cheaper but Cosworth is definitely better.

ashton that cosworth gasket is vvl compatible?

no, he is talking about a de motor though.

Cosworth doesnt make a vvl gasket.

i ended up using an OEM Nissan paper material gasket as both the head and block were not decked and had no warpage. For me i didnt want to touch the bottom end really and get myself deeper into a project so i went with a simpler solution. Both the vet and cosworth gaskets are really quite good so anyway you go youre really not hurting your situation.

Thanks for all your input guys

for 350 ve headgasket is fine.
